“One of them’s not going to be playing in the position that they want to play.”

“Because you’re talking about a huge signing in the summer, you’re talking about another huge signing in January.

“One of them’s not going to be playing in the position that they want to play.”

Aubameyang is being lined up to replace Alexis Sanchez, who is set to join Manchester United this week.

But the Bundesliga giants rate their talisman at £60m and Higginbotham has questioned the logic in splashing out on a player that will be ineligible in Europe.

“Aubameyang can’t play in the Europa League for Arsenal,” he continued.

“He was at Dortmund who were in the Champions League - because they’ve now fallen into the Europa League he can’t play in that competition.

“In a month or so that’s probably going to be Arsenal’s biggest opportunity of getting into the Champions League.

“So you’re going to spend all this money on Aubameyang yet he can’t actually play in considerably the most important competition for you to actually get back to where you want to be, which is the Champions League.”
